Walking along the platform Harry looked down to see his godfather as Snuffles happily bouncing along beside him. Placing his hand on Snuffles head, Harry smiled down at him when he looked at him quizzically. Moving his head, Snuffles licked his hand as if saying See I'm still here my saliva's all over your hand. Grimacing slightly Harry wiped his hand against the side of his comfortable black skinny jeans as Sirius snickered, if you could call what he was doing sniggering. Rolling his eyes, the messy haired teen looked around the platform catching sight of Hermione, Ron and Ginny. Sneaking up to them quietly, he winked at Sirius and when he was mere inches from them, shouted 'BOO!' into their ears. Turning around quickly Hermione glared at him while holding and hand over her radically beating heart.
"Jesus Harry, mate, you can't do that to us. It's not fair" An equally frightened Ron said, with Ginny nodding in earnest agreement.
"Sorry guys, but I couldn't let the opportunity pass" Harry grinned, before turning to the twins who was standing with their youngest siblings and saying hi.
Looking at Sirius who was again snickering away in his dog form, Hermione scolded him "Honestly Sirius you a bad influence on poor Harry" Smiling however "Though he does seem a lot happier this year"
Ron made as if to say something in agreement but at that moment, the whistle blew and Harry turned to Snuffles, hugging him goodbye before strolling, practically skipping, towards the scarlet train, happily humming underneath his breath. Shaking her head with a slight smile, Hermione followed Harry at a more sedate pace, waving goodbye to Sirius and the Weasleys, while also dragging Ron and Ginny along with her.

After scaling the train for a good fifteen minutes, the four Gryffindors managed to find an appropriately empty carriage, placing their trunks above them. Not two minutes later had Neville along with Luna found them, soon followed by Seamus and Dean. Once everybody was seated comfortability Luna opened her mouth, most probably to say one of her famous loony comments however was interrupted by a golden haze and a slight pop. As the haze dimmed down, two young girls stood in a what was once an empty spot. One, who looked to be about five, had long strawberry blond hair, with a small amount of freckles. She was holding a red dragon in one hand and the other was in the tight grip of a red haired, grey eyed girl who looked to be about 16.
Neville was the first to ask the question on everyone's mind "I'm sorry but who are you?"
Surprisingly it was the younger girl who answered them "I Dani and this is Warianna" she said in a childlike voice. Chuckling 'Warinanna' shook her head.
"It's Arianna actually and I need you to come with us" She said seriously.
Harry spoke up this time "And where would that be? And what makes us think we would go with you?"
Arianna chuckled "Who said you had a choice?" and with that the golden haze grew until there was a loud pop and the carriage which once held eight occupants was now empty, including their trunks.

Sitting up slowly Ron looked around the room they were in, decorated in cream and brown the room had a comfortable feel to it. To the left on the opposite side of the room was a fireplace, surrounded by two caramel brown armchairs and a cream white sofa. Next to the fireplace was boundless amounts of books, however Ron was unable to see any of the titles from his place on the floor. On the wall behind him seemed to be a door, leading to what, who knew. One wall was not a wall at all but more of half-wall, beyond that he could see a cosy kitchen/diner with enough chairs to fit a least 20 people.
Slowly standing up Ron swayed slightly and again looked toward the fireplace, this time spotting three things he had missed before or rather three people. With a mighty roar, one worthy of a lion, Ron threw himself at the stuck up blond and then tumbled to the floor, with said blond landing on top of him. "Malfoy! I should have known it was you" he thundered as he tried but failed to get Malfoy off of him "Have you finally decided to deliver us to your lord! Huh? HUH?"
Rolling his eyes Draco looked down at Weasley amused "Really Weasel? Are you really that dense? Do you really think the dark lord would live in as nice a place as this?" Draco sneered "If you must, now we were brought here against our will, and judging by your reaction so was you"
Finally sitting up Hermione commented "We? What do you mean we?"
Standing Pansy straightened the crinkles in her skirt and looked down at Hermione "He means Granger that we were also brought along for the ride" She indicated to both herself and Blaise who was sitting in one of the brown chairs.
Nodding her head, Hermione started studying her surroundings thoughtfully. Narrowing her eyes, Hermione walked to the fireplace looking upon the mantle. There stood a photo and in said photo stood a couple arm in arm. They were moving so obviously it was a wizarding house they, were in where ever they was. The couple were arm in arm dancing in front of a fountain in what loked to be autumn. Turning quickly Hermione opened her mouth "Hey Harry? Isn't this-"
Before she could finish what she was saying by a golden haze and this time two pops was heard. As the daze dimmed down, there was now more people bunched up on the ground, with three people standing next to her at the fireplace. This was when she noticed.
"Um Malfoy? Why are you still on Ron?"
Looking down, Draco noticed that yes he was still on top of a very red Weasley. Standing up quickly Draco turned to Hermione and noticed the three occupants by the fireplace, well more specifically one. "YOU! Your the one that brought us here" Draco pointed at a red haired, green eyes boy with geeky glasses, and major freckles.
Said boy just grinned at them all stupidly and sniggered at the mess of human limbs on the floor. "Yes. We, as in me, Dani and Arianna" he indicated to them all accordingly "brought you here. I'm James by the way. We brought you here because we overheard people talking and decided that the only way this war was to end, would be if all of you were to get along."
At this point Arianna took over "As you can see" She nodded to he group who we slowly but surely untangling their limbs "Certain people aren't here, more specifically Dumbledore and Voldemort" A few people winced at the careless use of his name "You will find why later on, for now, how about some fun getting to know each other exercises?" Arianna smirked.
Smirking as well James slowly pulled out a bottle from behind his back "You have either two options, they both include this bottle. The first is truth or dare, the second is that someone will spin the bottle and who ever it lands on, has to pick a memory to share with the group, which one will it be?"
From the floor a bedraggled Sirius piped up "Both" he commented light heartingly. At this everyone, except Sirius, shouted either "Sirius" or "Black" in protest.
Grinning excitedly James carried on talking "Both it is then! Each person will take it in turn to spin the bottle, whoever it lands on will be given the option of Truth, Dare or Memory. If you pick truth a truth spell will temporarily go over you to make sure you answer what ever question honestly, if you pick dare you must do what ever the person dares you or face our wrath and last but not least if you pick memory, a memory, any memory will be picked at random and presented to the group" At this people groaned "Now to more important parts, you are in the room of requirements, however you have no magic, for the duration of your stay you are to live like muggles"
Arianna smiled at them "To the right is the kitchen as you can see, and beyond that door are your rooms. Have fun and please try not to kill each other?" With that Arianna, James and Dani left with a pop and a wave from Dani.
Left with only a bottle and each other the unique group looked to each other in shock. Slowly rising Harry picked up the bottle, looked at it for five minutes then turned and looked at everyone in the room. "Okay then. Who's up for a game of Truth or Dare?"
